Hello,

I have a function object (coded function object embeddd in controlDict) that calculates c_p for the entire field.

The function object execution is controlled by:

      outputControl   outputTime;
      outputInterval  1;

The field is declared like this:

volScalarField c_p
        (
          IOobject
          (
           "c_p",
           mesh().time().timeName(),
           mesh(),
           IOobject::NO_READ,
           IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
           ),
          (p - p_inf) / (0.5 * sqr(U_inf))
         );

In this case it is never written to the timestep directories. If I add a c_p.write() it is written like it should.

But why is not written without an explicit write even though AUTO_WRITE is set? The U and p fields are declared just like this.

Thanks,

Florian

Hello,

If your field is not needed inside the calculations (not explicitly updated, i.e. using code). You can try adding the following at the end of your time loop:

if (runTime.outputTime())
  {
     volScalarField c_p
        (
          IOobject
          (
           "c_p",
           runTime().timeName(),
           mesh(),
           IOobject::NO_READ,
           IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
           ),
          (p - p_inf) / (0.5 * sqr(U_inf))
         );

    runTime.write();

  }

Hi guys


I had the same issue. I managed to solve it by realizing that I had used the value of the field in another file. I removed its use there and it now works.


Hope it helps
